Recenzii
“A touching story. . . . Suskind is a skilled reporter. . . The moral of Suskind’s story, in short, is that nothing suceeds like truthfulness.” — The Washington Post Book World
“Suskind’s reporting continues to make him an indispensable chronicler of the Bush/Cheney debacle.” — Tim Rutten, The Los Angeles Times
“Ron Suskind does not think small. . . . A sweeping examination of moral authority in a global world and how a post-9/11 America seems to have lost its way.” — The Boston Globe
“A bombshell book.” — The Today Show
“An explosive new book.” — MSNBC.com
“There is much more to learn from Suskind’s reporting, including new evidence that Bush and other officials knew there were no WMD in Iraq.” — Joe Conason, Salon
“An ambitious attempt to weave all the strands of our current conflict into a unified whole. . . . Ron Suskind’s new book has earned buzz because of his arresting argument that the Bush administration actually forged evidence to buttress its case for war.” — Andrew Sullivan
“Moving. . . . Mr. Suskind is a prodigiously talented craftsman. . . . It’s all here: a cast of characters that sprawls across class and circumstance to represent the totality of a historical moment. . . . These hard times, Mr. Suskind’s book suggests, call for a nonfiction Dickens.” — The New York Observer
“Outstanding. . . . A searching, globe-hopping masterpiece of investigative journalism and empathetic prose. Amidst the ‘arabesque’ of richly drawn characters, Suskind reveals a few bombshell discoveries regarding the Bush Administration’s irresponsibility and outright lies.” — The Huffington Post
“The leading chronicler of the forty-third president.” — Esquire
“Ron Suskind has traced the history of the Bush years with a novelist’s ear. Now he looks at the tragedy through the eye of the victims.” — The American Prospect
“Suskind is a brilliant reporter and his investigation into the post- 9/11, pre-Iraq war period makes you think you’re reading about it for the first time. . . . It’s damning. Give this man another Pulitzer Prize.” — Christopher Buckley, The Daily Beast
“Incisive. . . . No journalist has more ably explored the dark crevices of the Bush administration’s foreign policy. . . . Suskind has shown that faith -- the wrong kind of faith, anyway -- can produce disaster.” — Salon
“Extraordinary. . . . If Mr Suskind is correct, laws have been broken and President George W. Bush and/or Dick Cheney are implicated. . . . This is—or ought to be—a Watergate-sized scandal.” — Clive Crook, The Financial Times
“Startling. . . . Chilling. . . . A reportorial feat. . . . Suskind skillfully traces several interwoven stories of cultural clashes and cross-pollination, all of them pursuing the questions of whether America and the Muslim world can ever look past their differences and find understanding.” — Michael Crowley, The New York Times Book Review
“Complex, ambitious, provocative, risky. . . . In a crowded, highly talented field, Mr. Suskind bids fair to claim the crown as the most perceptive, incisive, dogged chronicler of the inner workings of the Bush administration.” — Mark Danner, The New York Times
“A vivid snapshot of a year, 2006-2007, in the life of a nation whose leaders have betrayed its high moral purpose. One of Suskind’s Washington players cries into the darkness, “Can the great beast self-correct?” Can America, Suskind asks, recover its missionary rectitude? He clearly thinks it can.” — The Sunday Times (London)
